UK PM Starmer suffers first leadership setback as party MP Duffield resigns - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury in Kent, will now sit in the House of Commons as an Independent after her resignation letter published in The Sunday Times' attacked the Labour leader's cruel and unnecessary policies amid an ongoing expensive free gifts row.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has suffered his first setback since taking charge at 10 Downing Street in July after one of his members of Parliament resigned from the Labour Party, delivering a scathing attack on his leadership.

Duffield claimed there were many "last straws" that led to her decision to resign, but her main reason to step down this weekend is over the government's programme of unpopular policies.
